Course Objective

To overview of animal physiology with a thoroughly comparative approach and get information the study of the organ systems of animals and their control systems (nervous, endocrine) , with an emphasis on how these systems have evolved and allowed organisms to inhabit various ecological environments.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Have basic knowledge of how animals adapt physiologically to environmental challenges.
2   Describe basic aspects of membrane transport, and the roles of diffusion, passive transport, and active transport in establishing the composition of fluid compartments.
3   Studying different organ and structures related with animal systems by doing various experiments.
4   Describe the structural and functional relationships of animal organ systems including the digestive, circulatory, excretory, endocrine, and reproductive systems
